About This Track

'Sour Milk' by Dylan is a 2019 pop track from the album 'Purple - EP'. The lyrics frame a breathless, nocturnal relationship that turns sour, with the speaker craving escape and “another’s touch”, even while insisting on a love that works mostly when distance is involved. The emotional tone is restless and self-contradictory, leaning on a pattern of longing, withdrawal, and damage, as the bond leaves both parties dead inside and searching to be freed.

"Sour Milk" is a single by Dylan, from the album Purple - EP, released 24th October 2019. The track is 3:23 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Dylan.

Lyrics

Sour Milk

When we started
Just me on you
Breathless in the night
Now this thing between us
Just leaves us
Only dead inside

Maybe we are out of luck
Begging to be freed
I'm dreaming of another's touch

I only want you when your miles away I love the hate
I only need you when I'm getting drunk to numb the pain
I'll only hold you when there's no one else to call my name
I'll only want you when we're through like milk you cannot use
Cause our love is sour
Our love is sour
Our love is

This means nothing
You leave a bad taste in my mouth
I'm craving something
Worth more than
What we're doing now

Maybe we are out of luck
Begging to be freed
I'm dreaming of another's touch

I only want you when your miles away all of the hate
I only need you when I'm getting drunk to numb the pain
I'll only hold you when there's no one else to call my name
I'll only want you when we're through
Like milk you cannot use
Cause our love is sour

Our love is sour
Our love is
Our love is
Our love is sour
Our love is getting bruised
It's feeling kinda old
It's feeling kinda used
Your love has got me bored
I'm craving something new
Now our love is sour
Our love is sour

I only want you when your miles away all of the hate
I only need you when I'm getting drunk to numb the pain
I'll only hold you when there's no one else to call my name
I'll only want you when we're through like milk you cannot use
Cause our love is sour
Our love is sour
Our love is
Our love is sour
Our love is sour
Our love is

    Dylan is teaming up with Dan Smith from Bastille for the first taste of her new era, 'Liar Liar': "Oh god, what if people hate it?"

    She's the pop megastar in waiting that's kinda a rockstar too, and she's kicking off a brand new era with a bit of a hand from Bastille's Dan Smith - but what comes next from Dylan is apparently going to surprise us all.
